Very Boggy

Overall a very hilly course. Only nine holes were in play (1,2,5,6,7,11,12,17,18) due to conditions of the course. Two of which had a temporary green in the middle of the fairway as the actual greens were under repair.

In general, the course was very boggy and not very well signposted. May try again in the summer.

Disappointing experience and waste of money

Only a select 9 holes in play and a few temp pins situated on fairways. Wasn’t told about this when booked and hard to navigate where the next hole was. Massive Let down. Won’t be returning

Wet and mouldy! Too many blind holes and criss crossing!

Don't enjoy this course! There were too many holes where you play across one another. We were nearly got by wayward balls a few times!

Hard work

Unfortunately there was a seniors match in front of us so took over five hours to play. Really enjoyed each hole but there was too much crossing fairways.
Off the course, bar didn’t open until midday, then after the round very hot ordered four beers and 2 pints tap water, got charged £1 pint for tap water.

Great course with outrageous views!

Played this course for the first time a couple of weeks back, and can safely say I will be returning very soon. Weather was great on the day, course was in great condition and the views from the course were outstanding! Plenty of opportunities for risk reward shots which are unforgiving if you don’t pull them off. Plenty of variation on holes which all tie in together to give the course it’s own fantastic identity. Can’t wait to get back and have another shot at this gem. The only thing I would suggest is if you don’t consider yourself fit to hire a buggy!
